So I’m back to CrossFit again… After my drum corps finished up back in Sept, I spent a lot of time getting ready for Halloween and also tried to get back into a gym routine. Went back to the SGX workout but just was not able to stay motivated. I don’t know exactly why but I just decided that it was time to try CrossFit again, happen to find a small CrossFit affiliate (CrossFit Santa Clara) close to my office, and signed up… and its kickin my ass!
I’ve become part of the “morning crew” for the 7am class, and a few times getting there at 6:30am to review some of the CrossFit basic movements with Jason. One good thing is that most of the stuff I learned from the CrossFit Sunnyvale class I took is still in my head some where and I’ve been able to quickly pick it back up after a short refresher.
Thus far I’ve done Helen, Push Jerk, and Nicole this week… Jason says that my Push Jerk is pretty good and I got up to 165lbs. Today was Nicole (400m run + pull-ups) which really kicked my ass as I’m horrible at running and for the life of me could never get a pull-up. But that is what CrossFit is all about. However, with Jason’s help (and a rubberband) I went from not being able to do a kipping pull-up at all to getting 4 (before loosing my grip). I finally started to get the movement… definietly need to keep working on those so I can ditch the rubberband. That will be a great day indeed!
